Well I’ve been seen on Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, I’m streaming on Sirius XM, I did some TV shows on CBS called “FBI” and “Kevin Can Wait” and I did a movie once called “Before I Go”. I even did a music video with Jay Z and DJ Khaled called “I Got the Keys” and did a Monday Night Football commercial for ESPN that I got paid $150 for. Pretty lit right?

If that doesn’t convince you to come- you must be my parents. See ya there! 再见 Adios!
